Dumbledore was in his office after speaking with Hermione Granger, he received some interesting information, however, he wasn’t thinking about that right now because currently, he was holding the resurrection stone in his hands for the hundredth time in the day.

“I shouldn’t do this…” He said to himself as he admired the thing.

It was so pretty and he wanted to stare at it for the rest of his life but there was something much better to do than just staring.

“Oh what the hell,” he said to himself, and soon, he activated the stone.

He smiled at the sight as he saw some important figures appear in front of him, looking the same way they looked the day they died.

“Mother, father…Ari,” Dumbledore said with the biggest smile anyone could say had seen on his face.

“Albus, we already told you we forgive you even though our deaths were not your fault,” his father said with a desperate tone.

“Not even Ari blames you for her death Albus but please, you need to let us go, this is getting out of control and it’s been just a few hours,” his mother was on the verge of tears.

“Please brother, let us rest, there’ll be a time when we’ll be together but…You’re spending too much time doing this, please let us rest,” Ariana tried to be strong but she didn’t live enough to learn to control her emotions.

She was sad when she realized she was dead, however, she soon found herself enjoying her next great adventure, she was finally free and happy but that peace had been disturbed since her brother insisted so much on using that stone so he could see her and her parents.

“Nonsense, while I’m sure there are many possibilities in the afterlife, I’m sure you’re going to enjoy what I’m going to tell you—” Dumbledore couldn’t continue because he was suddenly startled by the door of his office being opened with such an intensity that shook him and made him drop the stone.

“What the? Who bothers me at this hour?!” Dumbledore said angrily and the guests were taken aback by his attitude.

His calm demeanor was one of his most notable characteristics, so, seeing the headmaster acting like that surprised Snape, Narcissa, and Lucius alongside Kingsley, Nymphadora, and the minister who for some reason was there too.

“What?” Asked Dumbledore with a raised brow.

He looked like crap, his hair was messy and his eyelids were too obvious if a muggle would’ve looked at him, he would’ve been confounded for a street junkie.

“Sorry to interrupt your work professor but…Draco is missing,” Snape said with a concerned tone.

Dumbledore stared at his spy's face for a few moments before he picked up the stone again and saved it in his pocket, he was planning to keep it and protect it with his life if he had to, soon, the old wizard forgot about everything else as he continued staring at the stone, he was tempted to use it again before his thoughts were interrupted by his spy’s words.

“Professor?” Asked Snape with a concerned tone.

“Yes?” Asked the old wizard with a cold tone.

“About Draco…” Snape tried to make him remember.

“Who’s Draco?” Dumbledore was getting annoyed.

“Draco Malfoy Sir, the boy who escaped from the castle last week, the one who attacked Potter,” Snape said bitterly, he hated looking like he was concerned about Potter.

The mention of the Potter heir made Dumbledore remember that he had the invisibility cloak which was the remaining hallow and that quickly brought him back to reality.

“Oh right…I’m sorry, I was just going through some complicated musings that I couldn't help but feel confused for a while,” Dumbledore tried to put on the mask of the calm grandfather. “Missing? Didn’t he successfully escape last week?” Asked Dumbledore as he locked eyes with his spy.

“That’s what we thought sir but I was informed by his parents, the honorable Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy that he never went to their home, and according to their tracking charm, his wand has been apparently in the forbidden forest most of the time for the past week,” Snape tried to hide the fact that he was friends with the Malfoys.

It was for the good of them that their friendship wasn’t public knowledge. Dumbledore’s eyes widened, the son of a death eater and one of the closest friends of the minister lost his son in this castle, it seemed like things were about to get ugly.

Meanwhile, Harry was knocking on a door calmly, he waited for a few seconds and then he was greeted by two girls from his age and house, there was a witch of Indian origin and a British one with a big bosom.

“Harry…Is that you?!” The two witches asked at the same time.

It’s clear they were taken aback by his new appearance.

“I told you girls he was going to come, I saw it with my inner eye,” the professor said in a mystical tone.

“Hey Lav, Vati,” Harry said to the witches before he kissed their cheeks which caused them to blush. “Good evening professor, I tried to get here earlier but there were some complications on my way here,” Harry explained to his professor.

“Don’t worry my boy we just started, tonight we’re reading the future using dice,” the professor said with a cheerful expression.

Harry tried to look hopeful but he was already getting tired, he wanted to be with Hermione, however, that piece of information the professor had was too important for him to give up so easily, he needed to know who heard that prophecy, he wanted to make that person pay.

“Well, let’s start,” the professor said before she made them sit.

Soon she handed them a paper with all the meanings of the numbers you can get from the dice. However, before they were able to start, the classroom was raided by Dumbledore, Snape, the Malfoys and a couple of Aurors Harry recognized.

“Professor Dumbledore…What’s going on here?” Asked the divination professor with a confused expression.

“Sorry Sybil, I tried to stop them but they’re here for official matters,” Dumbledore said with a sad expression.

“Potter!” Snape growled before anyone could say or do anything.

Harry had already his wand ready in case he needed to use some force to get rid of the annoying greasy professor.

“Yes?” Harry asked with a cold tone that made almost everyone shiver.

“Now Mr. Potter, please lower your wand, we’re not here to harm you,” the headmaster said with a serious tone.

“I’m sorry for not trusting most of you, headmaster, you left me with the Dursleys during the summers even if I was technically an adult already, Snape tried to destroy my mind the other day, the minister who can’t control his murderous dementors is here too, and to make things worse, we have Lucius Malfoy too, the man who tried to kill me during my second year and the one who put my girlfriend on the hospital this summer,” Harry’s words made most of the guests look at him with anger.

Harry knew he was being a bit impulsive right now but he didn’t care, most of the people he hated in the world were in this room, how else was he supposed to act?

“Enough…Harry James Potter, you’re under arrest as the main suspect in the disappearance of Draco Malfoy!” The minister said angrily.

Harry couldn't help but feel surprised, they surely took their time to realize the ferret was lost.
